From behind its Internet firewall, under the headline "Denis Coderre, Ignatieff's ex-lieutenant, is hoping to turn the page on Tout le monde en parle," Le Devoir reports that "Coderre will not settle any scores" in tomorrow night's Radio-Canada interview.
In contrast to reports this morning in English, however, the Le Devoir article suggests that Mr. Coderre will continue to play the Québec/francophone victim card, which, judging from how pleased Gilles Duceppe was to receive it, is bad news for the Liberals in that province and bad news for Canada:
"Coderre doesn't disavow Monday's remarks about Ignatieff's Toronto advisers playing too large a role in Quebec party affairs.
A close associate of Coderre emphasized to Le Devoir that he's a 'team player' and that he hopes to turn the page, but not to the point that he's prepared to disavow what he said. 'Denis is a consistent guy. His remarks on Monday were not an outburst, he really thought them through'."
As Jane Taber concludes in her report in this morning's Globe, "We'll see after the show tomorrow night if we were spun or not." To which I would simply add: By one side in this spin war, or by both.
